duced to Justice Merrlck, presiding in the

NEW CRUISER BOSTON.
The Trial Trip Successful and sttls-
factory.

factory.
The report Of the officers 10 charge OF the
new cruiser Boston, In her recent trial trip,
has been made public. TIE trial lasted
about six hours aud resulted Ia the develop
ment OF more horse power than the $500
required by the contract. The furnaces
consumed 35 40 pounds OF coal per square
foot OF crate surface, indicating 122 horse
power for every foot Of CRATE, which is be-
lieved to be the highest indicated horse
power yet developed by o marine engine
continuously at sea in the United States.
The air pressure in the fire Rooms averaged
about an inch OF water, and the temperature
in the closed fire rooms was cooler than
that Of an ordinary open fire room, which
Is supposed TO be due to the large volume
Of afr supplied by the force-blast. The
mean distance run per hour was l3 8 knots,
the mean revolutions Is. 85 per minute, and
the mean steam pressure Sc pounds per
square inch. The engines worked smoothly,
without jar, and perfectly cool with the ex-
ception OF two main journals, which
warmed slightly. The after tow-pressure
crank-pin heated slightly, owing to the
telescope oilingtube carrying away before
the trial began. 1t is believed that when
the fremen are thoroughly familiar with
the Boston, 1000 indicated horse power
can be maintained under forced draft. Tue
ship was at her fell displacement Of 5000

APPOINTING OFFICERS POWER.
Who the Cincinnati Postmaster Can
and Cannot Remove.

Acting President Oberly, Of the civil SER
vice commission, has written a lengthy let
ter to Mr.. Charles w. Rowland, chairman
of the civil service board of examiners for
the Cincinnati postofllce, constituting certain
sections Of the civil service law and rules
relating to the power Of appointing officers
to make removals. After citing the cases
in point, the letter concludes as follows:
"Entertaining these views, the commission
the opinion of the commission, the post
master at Cincinnati cannot lawfully re-
move any carrier or clerk for the reason
that the carrier or clerk belongs to the po-

Citizens Association No. 8 last night lis
tened to report from their school commit.
tee, which stated that satisfactory arrange
ments looking to the appointment of a
desirable teacher for the Mount Hamilton
school had been made twas ordered that
the commissioners be asked to mark the
termin OF II street, Maryland avenue Fiji
teenth street, Bennipg's road, and the be-
ginning Of the Bladensburg road. This is
asked for in order that the space formed by
the intersection of these streets and the
avenue may he improved.
The delegates to the Citizens Committee
OF One Hundred were ordered to make q
report to that body looking to an act OF
Congress being passed so as to amend the
charter Of the Columbia railroad, requiring
that company to run more cars and on
quicker time. The question Of tunneling
Eleventh street east by the B. and o. rail-
road provoked much discussion. It was
stated that Col. Ludlow's plan was to have
canal dug along Eleventh street aud
bridges thrown over the street crossings.
This plan met with immediate objection,
anu the only plan agreed on was that the
B. and o. main stem should strike Its Ana
costa branch at Badensburg and follow the
Eastern branch, and come into the city
over b. and p. bridge.
The association also adopted resolutions
asking for ten additional mounted police
men for the county; that the laws govern
ing Washington be made to cover the
county, and also that the discharge Of fire.
arms In the county he prohibited unless on
places permitted by the owners.
Several members stated that the marshes
near BenniDg's bridge were filed with gun
ners, the majority Of whom were small
boys, and the continual discharge Of guns
was dangerous to life and property. With
! in the last few days the firing has caused
several horses to run away, and the escapes
from death by the occupants Of the vehicles
to which the frightened animals were at
tached, was miraculous. The meeting ther
